Thanks for the reply Bobbygum but I am not sure if I understand.

I doubt there are many journalists that work for free although in the blog world I am sure there are people that post news type stories on a personal site.

Let's say I have adsense or some other ad network on my blog - I am making money from the blog and therefore it is a commercial endeavour.

My site will be a not for profit because we will be donating all profits to charity. However, we are still commercial.

What we want to do is have custom RSS feeds to Google News based on keywords related to each topic on the site.

I was hoping somebody from Google might actually make contact with me because I am certain Google is going to love the site concept...we will be launching in 3 weeks but unfortunately I can't disclose the site concept in a public forum at this stage.
